After coming on as a substitute for the last 12 minutes of the Wiltshire club’s 2-2 draw at home to Paulton in Division One South & West last Tuesday (August 15), he named himself in the starting line-up for their FA Cup tie at home to Fareham yesterday (August 19).

The former Leicester striker, who scored 46 league goals for United during his two spells for the club in the early nineties, was unable to hit the back of the net in the preliminary round encounter with the Sydenhams Wessex League outfit, but had a couple of chances saved.

Claridge, who ended up playing 71 minutes before coming off, at least saw his Salisbury side run out 3-2 winners to book their place in tomorrow’s first qualifying round draw.
